I could see him as the punt returner too. Kid runs hard and clearly has juice. I can't say I watched much of this guy play, but the highlight reels I pulled this morning show some things to like.
He doesn't have the makings of an elite player, but he's tough as hell with the ball in his hands.
I've been very vocal that I feel the NFL still has issues with racism and black quarterbacks and head coaches. I think it's undeniable.
I don't think that's the case here. Deion has actively stated he intends to coach his kid in the NFL. He pulled that dumb stunt with the jersey retirements at Colorado. They limited the way he interacted with teams in the draft process.
One of the key decision-makers in a draft room is the current head coach. Why on earth would you sign on to draft a player whose dad - an NFL legend and current college coach - is actively campaigning to take your job? It's such a recipe for nonsense that I don't blame teams for avoiding it all.
I think Sanders is actually a pretty good QB prospect. He had a TERRIBLE offensive line last year and it makes the tape really tough to watch. But this slide isn't about his talent or his race.
It's his dad.
Not sure, but Jihad Campbell, the two safeties, maybe Burden, kick Conerly or Simmons inside. It'd just be nice to land another pick is all.
If the Vikings believe this is their long term LG, well then I hope they nailed it.
This team both feels too talented to be incompetent and not talented enough to be competitive.
I blame the pitching staff for the former and the stone-handed sloths that play the field for the latter.
Methinks we get a frustrating mix of both this year.
Agreed. Honestly, with this team's pitching and crappy division they need like....one dude......to start hitting like an all-star and swinging their fortunes around.
I mean, had it not been for arguably one of our top 5 players (Jax) single-handedly turning 3 wins into losses this team would be 12-13 and 3 games out of the lead. The division is that bad.
They only lost by 9 and looked like they were literally shooting bricks.
It's a loss I feel strangely good about. Especially since even a few big moment makes (like Edwards with a chance to cut it to 6 in transition or Conley had a chance to cut to 10 late in the third) and that game might have been a sneaky win.
I work with kids that are basically straight out of the age group from The Sandlot. Prime baseball age. In a state where you can play baseball year round. (Arizona) And I'll repeat what I've been saying here for a decade: MLB has a crisis on their hands. Kids don't care. More kids would know the Savannah Bananas logo than their local team. They'd likely be able to name more players on the Bananas than their local team.
Kids are not invested in MLB. There are some diehards, sure....but I think MLB's average fan (60, white, male) would be pretty shocked by how irrelevant baseball is for kids.
